So I don't see how the below is ever possible:

So we are acquiring fs_reclaim here which means that
current_gfp_context(gfp_mask) contained __GFP_FS...

... however here we've started a transaction so we should have
PF_MEMALLOC_NOFS set?

The only good explanation I have is that lockdep is mixing dependencies
from an ext4 filesystem without a journal with dependencies created by
filesystem with a journal. Since we have no reproducer, it's hard to
tell.
